One of the most renowned examples of Roman architecture in the Poitou region, the Saint-Pierre church was classified as a historic monument in the 19th century.

The Saint-Pierre church is said to have been built by monks from Auvergne belonging to the Chaise-Dieu abbey. While its facade is reminiscent of Poitou, its arching may be explained by its one-time ties with La Chaise-Dieu.
